Book excerpt: "Story Boxes," like its predecessor "Little Boxes," showcases a unique style of poetry in which each poem is a short story told in only 100 syllables. One hundred poems, ten thousand syllables. The subjects include Americana, men attempting to understand women, the point-of-view of kids, philosophy, corporate life, nature, dreams, coffee and cafés, words and writing. Once again, the full spectrum. Also with the variety of subjects come a variety of moods. As with "Little Boxes," many of the poems are humorous, some are self-reflective, and all of them are commentaries on contemporary life.The poems are called "box poems" because they are constructed of 10 lines with each line having exactly 10 syllables. They are written in the style of poetry referred to as "syllable poetry," which includes such traditional forms as the Japanese haiku and the American cinquain. One of the chief reasons for using this form (or any other poetry form) is that the "limitations of form" boost the creative process. Poets use form for two reasons. One is aesthetic. The other is the impact that form has on the creative process. A nine-syllable line, for example, might seem perfect; but if the form demands a ten-syllable line, then the poet has to work harder to achieve it. Typically, the extra effort makes the poem better than it would have been otherwise.Here is an example from the collection:It's like you want to hide in a closet,just you, a few good books, and a close friend.You could manage fine with a flashlight, butyour friend has a thousand watts in his heart,and for the first time you begin to thinkyou might be better off blind and alone.The fear is that there will be nothing left, that you will be consumed and disappear.Fear does that. It causes us to forgethow simple it is to open a door.

Download or read book Complete Poems and Collected Letters of Adelaide Crapsey written by Susan S. Smith and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the poetry and letters of the American writer Adelaide Crapsey (1878–1914). Her best poetry deserves to be enjoyed by a larger audience, and her letters and newly discovered biographical materials reveal new charm and meaning in an intriguingly elusive character. Crapsey did not live to see any of her mature poetry published: she received notice that her first poem had been accepted for publication only a week before she died. Posthumous editions of her Verse (in 1915, 1922, and 1934), however, brought her recognition and respect. Carl Sandburg paid her a poetic tribute. American critic Yvor Winters praised her as "a minor poet of great distinction" and felt that her poems remained "in their way honest and acutely perceptive." Her best work is compressed, terse, related in this respect to the work of another American poet who won posthumous recognition, Emily Dickinson. Crapsey is best known as the inventor of the cinquain, a poem of five short lines of unequal length: one-stress, two-stress, three-stress, four-stress, and one-stress. The cinquain is one of the few modern verse forms developed in English, and its brevity and characteristic thought pattern seem to have been influenced by Japanese forms. Crapsey's indebtedness to Japanese poetry and her relation to Imagism have long been subjects for debate. As Winters notes, the work of Crapsey "achieves more effectively than did almost any of the Imagists the aims of Imagism." The critical introduction by Professor Susan Sutton Smith examines these problems. Much of Crapsey's poetry is reticent, withdrawn, and private, and she believed strongly in the individual's right to privacy. Whatever new biographical materials reveal of her and of her relations with family and friends, however, shows a charming and courageous woman. Her courage and humor show especially well in her correspondence with her friend Esther Lowenthal and in the letters with her friend Jean Webster McKinney, author of Daddy Long-Legs, who died soon after Crapsey.
